Hi, Robert Menzies is my great grandfather through his son James Wilson Menzies. I'd love to learn more of his family in Scotland.

He was a joiner and a carpenter but active in local organizations and politics. He ran for Carbon County sheriff in 1910 on the republican ticket but lost.

There is a useful site with digitized newspapers from Utah,

There you can do a name search. Robert lived in Summit and Carbon counties, in Coalville, Winterquarters, and Price. He had a son and grandson also named Robert Menzies. Here are some urls:
